Representation and Objects of Thought in Medieval Philosophy

Herausgeber: Lagerlund, Henrik

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The notions of mental representation and intentionality are thought to have originated with Descartes in the seventeenth century. The authors in this book challenge this assumption and show that the history of these ideas can be traced back to the medieval period. They conclude that there is no clear dividing line between western late medieval and early modern philosophy.
